@dan Would it be possible to provide another explanatory video for the CMS, especially for the blog setup?
Ideally, this could perhaps be based on the blog from
It would also be really helpful if it included an explanation of pretty URLs, the corresponding .htaccess entries, and how to properly use the canonical URL.
I think that would help many users when setting up a blog in the way we normally expect one to work. The microblog example isn’t quite ideal, since in that setup the blog sits directly under the homepage.
This is what I said exactly in my post yesterday too. I feel that it’s the missing bits on set up that are now causing me headaches today having been happy and setting everything up on the online editor yesterday. It was a lot of try and fail until I got it.
I agree. I am totally lost as to how to setup the CMS. I’ve been watching multiple videos but they all seem to be different and the elements in the actual version have nothing to do with those in the videos of just a year ago. I can’t seem to find a video that explains the whole process of setting up a blog, be it online or the simple one. THANKS!
John I am just about to delete a video I created a couple of weeks ago for a friend {i do talk in this), it was not meant for the general use. It starts from a blank edit screen, not even a page, adds title, date, body text and an image. It was a one off single take, no script just straight from my head. If your interested I can dm you the link, I am about to delete anyway so no probs if you are not interested. It assumes you know how you want to format your actual page as this just gets straight to the point.
It maybe of no use as I chat to my friend on a regular basis about Elements.
it just means ill send the link to you not post here, as I said it was a one take recording off the top of my head, not really for general use, ill add the twig code needed as per the video, you can use the date twig code in both pages.
If it had been for general use I would have had a script with more thought/explanation
The process is fantastically explained much appreciated… Can I now abuse and ask you where you got the thing called twig? where all the code can be found.
Not “soon” as I’m in Africa on another project at the moment. But I will update the book, and hopefully Realmac will find a way to put it in the store.
Still I can’t get this and the online CMS working together so I must be doing something wrong. Look forward to a complete video done by Ben or Dan to help fully understand the whole setup.
but I appreciate the video… I understand it will help me set up for the new online CMS
